is my employer allowed to tell a lender that I have been using paid medical leave
Yes an employer can terminate an employee if the employee is abusing medical leave. However, if the employee is using FMLA, then they are likely protected.
can an employer force an employee to take a leave of absence with no medical documentation?
Yes, after you have exhausted your 12 weeks of unpaid leave under the FMLA, you must report to work as requested by the employer or the employer may terminate you.
A typical leave application should include the reason why the person wants a leave and the duration of the leave. Some companies will require the person to delegate some important task to a nominee.
If you are in the United States, there are laws governing your employer's responsibilities regarding leave for medical treatment. Exactly how they meet those requirements and what they expect from you varies from employer to employer. You need to contact your supervisor for that information. Alternatively, the human resources department of your employer will likely have the information as well. If you are outside of the United States, it will depend upon your own national and local laws, as well as the policies of your employer.
They must notify you of your COBRA rights.
If you had a job that nobody else was familiar with then it is reasonable that your employer has to contact you now and again about work related matters.
Sick leave is when your employer pays you even though you did not come to work due to illness. Most employers will give you a certain number of sick days per year, and if you are out more than that, they will not pay you.
Leave of absence requirements vary by state and depend on the circumstances requiring the leave. The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a law thatprotects employee rights if a leave of absence is due to medical reasons. One should contact their human resource department at their employer for further information.
Most likely not, as long as your employer is bound by the FMLA and you have been with the Employer long enough.
